Members grace_slick Posted November 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2010 Dammit man, how do you get such a PROFESSIONAL sound Johnny!? Was just listening to your work on this song, and although yeah, it's a bit slower than my original, I just LOVE the sound! So polished...it's got a whole different feel to mine. I still want the original feel and speed, but I love the sort of...ambient background stuff...I WAAANT IIIIT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though this might have been a rhetorical postthere are only a couple things I do before recording. (1) Check All (Input) Levels Prior To Recording... So that the input (in this case the keyboard) is optimised. No clipping (going beyond 0db) no overly EQ'd sounds(which can be changed after the "take")(2) Sound quality/Design...Making subtle tweaks here and there pays dividends toward the output.You do NOT need the most expensive gear to get expensive sounding results.Check out KVR (VST software forum) http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=177407 To Start...Get a sustain pedal and a more dynamic piano VSTi. CV Piano by Tascam IS the best free piano VST out there.Have a listen: pt 1 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MYCCRRIXpt 2 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=438Q514Hpt 3 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NHI0JAVJThese links ^^^ are untested BUT you can usethe program 7zip to view the files and make sure there aren'tany viruses, this was a free program but it's not on Tascams's site.One link:http://www.ziddu.com/download/6342071/CVPiano.zip.htmlAfter you have all the sounds you could ever ask forthe key is to experiment and play certain soundsin different ways so you can layer them on top of oneanother which will create vast sound scapes or whatever you want!
